Double the Diagnosis: A Case Report of Dizygotic Twins With Meningomyelocele.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The formation of neural tube defects, such as a meningomyelocele, is often sporadic and more common in monozygotic twin gestations but can be associated with folic acid deficiency and rarely occurs in dizygotic twins. In this case report, we present dizygotic twins born in the United States with meningomyeloceles. In addition, their neural tube defects were complicated by hydrocephalus and decreased muscle tone and movement in the lower extremities. Repair of the meningomyeloceles occurred 48 hours after birth with neurosurgical intervention, and placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunts was performed two weeks later once the neonates were of appropriate weight. This case report presents a rare occurrence of dizygotic twins with concurrent meningomyeloceles requiring post-natal surgical intervention to improve quality of life and decrease fatal complications of neural tube defects.
